Landkeepers in disused lines 
Are drinking California wine
And new machines 
Wait in the wings. 

Inventions dressed as relief
The valley has become a thief
And now the dream
Is behind a screen.

I woke early to dial into some sacred frequency.
I woke early to dial into some sacred frequency.
I woke early to dial into some sacred frequency.
Before diving into the drudgery
You know I had to go
Before diving into the drudgery
You know I had to go.

Hypnotised by my routine
Curate my security
I dreamed so long (I've been dreaming so long)
That the world was gone.  (Where has the world gone?)

I woke early to dial into some sacred frequency.
I woke early to dial into some sacred frequency.
Before diving into the drudgery
You know I had to go
Before diving into the drudgery
You know I had to go.

Before diving into the drudgery 
Just hold on to the sides
Just hold on to my mind 
Where everything resides
There was violence on both sides
There was chaos in my mind.

I Woke Early To Dial In To Some Sacred Frequency

FEAR is a VIRUS [Digi Single]

FEAR is a VIRUS

The band called TV FACE are releasing a single on the last Friday of every month during 2020. This is July's single - She Gets Old. A telephone tale of a tabloid tragedy.

The singles are being compiled in three CD EPs released in April, August and December with hand screen-printed artwork designed by singist/guitarist sTeVe. She Gets Old will be featured on our 2nd EP released in 28th August 2020.

She Gets Old

It Is What It Is

Danger Kill ft. Honeyblood

The VCR follow up their self-titled debut album with Wonderland.

Wonderland

"We Move" is taken from the forthcoming LP release from Melbourne's S:Bahn.
The song is a dissection of a fading relationship, driven by S:Bahn's trademark brawling guitars and seismic rhythm section.
"Queen of Diamonds" (the bands 2nd Album) will be available from Polaks Records in February.

Queen Of Diamonds

We Move

http://penfriend.rocks

I can’t do much of anything when I’m feeling down, let alone write a song about it, but one day in 2019 when I was trudging my way back, I made an attempt to leave a breadcrumb trail for my future self. 

"The Only Way Out Is Through" is my attempt to trap the "shapeless forces" that "pull at me", making them solid by assigning words to them, reducing their power and size to something I might feasibly be able to overcome. The aspirational sentiment that “resistance is crucial, forgiveness is beautiful” is one I find very hard to enact in the moment, but something I can at least continue to strive for. 

Ironically, this song is being released during my lowest fortnight of the last 12 months, so the safety line of lyrics I knotted inside the music is a helpful reminder of brighter days. 

The choice to release music in a universally dark time isn’t one I take lightly. “The Only Way Out Is Through” is the most resonant and useful piece of music I have to offer right now, a rescue raft for whoever needs one. 

That’s what this song is for me.

LYRICS 

Gotta get out of this 
Making a meal of distress 
Fatalistic to the bone 
Thunderclouds in every home 
Gotta get out of this 

The only way out is through 
Not gonna lose my heart - I never meant to 
The only way out is through 

Gotta get out of this 
Drowning in yesterday's tears 
Intimate conspiracies 
Shapeless forces pull at me 
Gotta get out of this 

The only way out is through 
Not gonna lose my heart - I never meant to 
The only way out is through 

The only way out is through 
Not gonna lose my heart 
I never meant to wish on a falling star 
But I won't let it go 

Denial take me away 
Pretend like I'm not the queen of stretching the days 
In all the wrong ways - til they break 
Denial take me away 
I crave your sweet mistakes but 
Resistance is crucial 
Forgiveness is beautiful 

The only way out is through 
Not gonna lose my heart - I never meant to 
The only way out is through

Supporting Lothians-based musicians, record labels, recording studios, promoters, venues and remixers.

If you're an artist based in Edinburgh/Lothians and have new music out - let me know!

Reminding people that The Funk is relevant in the 21st Century.

Described as a 'Creative Producer' by industry types, a one-man Stank-Factory who produces music at Studio 52 (his bedroom) in a North London warehouse.

Although the ideas are musically eclectic, a common theme is retained throughout: utmost respect for the groove which ties genres together. A bit like The Force. Just listen to more P-Funk, you'll understand.

His mission is two-fold:

1. Reinstate The Funk as an attitude permeating our daily lives, so we can cure the Placebo Syndrome and focus on Life.

2. To use music as a Vanguard to rally Funkateers towards a revolution of the mind!
